Why was the Tides Foundation – a progressive dark money machine – receiving US tax dollars? When you follow the money trail, it reveals Tides and other NGOs spread those dollars to each other and then spit it out around the world. Auditing USAID is NOT ENOUGH.
Conservative commentator Glenn Beck recently questioned on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) the allocation of federal funds to the Tides Foundation, an organisation he describes as a ‘progressive dark money machine’. In his post, Beck questions why this foundation is receiving US taxpayer dollars.

The Tides Foundation is known for funding a variety of progressive initiatives and has come under fire from conservatives who argue a lack of transparency in its financial operations. Beck’s concern centres on the apparent contradiction that a private organisation, which manages funds of unclear origin, is receiving government funding.
This has been echoed on social media, with figures such as Alex Jones sharing Beck’s message and demanding the return of public funds allocated to the foundation.

The controversy underlines the persistent tensions between different political sectors over the use of public funds and the funding of organisations with specific ideological agendas. While some argue that it is necessary to support entities that promote social welfare, others question the transparency and destination of such resources.
